A Book and a Chat with Liz Fichera

Each year a group of debut YA and mid-grade authors form a
group to help each other, over the last few years many of these authors have
not only appeared on “A Book and a Chat” but gone on to bigger and perhaps
better things. Today on the show is the first in this years “Class of 2K13" Liz
Fichera”.

While Liz is a debut “YA” author she has already two fiction
publications to her name.

Liz is one of the few authors that include Native American
people as main characters in her stories. Living in Phoenix, Arizona, she surrounded
by over 20 Native American communities.

Her
first book “Captive Spirit” was set in the sixteenth century in the area
now known as Phoenix, Arizona we follow the story of Aiyana, a young tribal
woman of the White Ant Clan.

This was followed by “Craving Perfect” described by one reviewer as…

A wonderful novel that takes you on a magical treadmill ride. Downtrodden
Grace isn't happy with her lackluster life and yearns to be someone people pay
attention to. And then -- after a spectacular treadmill fall -- she suddenly
is. But is perfect really all she hoped for?
'Craving Perfect' has the perfect ingredients for a delicious summer read.

Liz writes about ordinary teens who do extraordinary
things. This is very true about her debut YA novel “Hooked".

About “Hooked” (taken from Luna’s Little
Library):

When Native American Fredericka ‘Fred’ Oday is invited to
become the only girl on the school’s golf team, she can’t say no. This is an
opportunity to shine, win a scholarship and go to university, something no one
in her family has done.

But Fred’s presence on the team isn’t exactly welcome —
especially not to rich golden boy Ryan Berenger, whose best friend was kicked
off the team to make a spot for Fred.

But there’s no denying that things are happening between the girl with the
killer swing and the boy with the killer smile.

Though this is her debut YA novel a companion novel “Player”
is already optioned to soon hit the book shelves and with several other books
in the pipeline we shall, I am sure, hear a lot more from Liz Fichera.

So listen now and share an interesting, and entertaining show as I chat with my special guest today on A Book and a Chat with Liz Fichera
